    Going permie?

    So here's what has happened. I turned down the permie role and it looked like I would be let go as planned at the end of April. But at the last minute the Clientco extended me to the end of May on a new project, with the possibility that I'd be asked back if it got through feasibility stage. In...

    Anyone want to buy my place on a PRINCE2 course in Birmingham w/c 11 May

    Hi, I was expecting to be on the bench from today, but have unexpectedly been extended at the last minute. I made the rookie mistake of booking a training course which I can no longer a attend, and the terms will mean I get no refund - but I can can send a substitute. Details: 5 day course...

    Contract To Permy Salary

    IMHO permie job security is pretty much non-existent these days, and don't expect more than the square root of bugger-all in redundancy unless you have been employed for at least 2 years...

    Going permie?

    Thanks for all the comments/advice. Seems to be fairly evenly split between “play safe and take the permie role” and “this is normal contractor life, get used to it”. I think I’m going to do the latter. Reasons? Firstly whilst it is my first contract, it was a definite choice last year to make...

    Going permie?

    OK, here's the facts. I'm on my first contract, started out on 3 months but been extended 4 times currently till end April. I'm no spring chicken, so have lots of experience, but also responsibilities - mortgage, wife, child etc. I know that I am very well respected with Clientco, and I...

    Contracting for my (soon-to-be ex-) permanent employer

    Sounds like sage advice to avoid my ex-employer. I'm certainly already giving careful consideration to all of the costs & pitfalls you mention. Thanks, Arty.

    Contracting for my (soon-to-be ex-) permanent employer

    I thought I'd explained that it's a different role. Errr... what makes you so sure I'm not doing that too? I just didn't want to discard out of hand what could potentially be a lucarative first contract. I hadn't realised that by asking a few questions I would so quickly discover that I'm not...

    Contracting for my (soon-to-be ex-) permanent employer

    Thanks for all you comments and the somewhat lively debate. Please accept my apologies if I seem to be ignoring some points that people are making - its not deliberate, rather that I'm suffering from newbie-lag syndrome, where my responses are being moderated and therefore only appear sometime...

    Contracting for my (soon-to-be ex-) permanent employer

    ... but paying 40% on my redundancy in tax is a concern. I seem to have 3 options: a) fight for a job I don't particularly want (for mainly geographical reasons) b) take redundancy and find a job elsewhere. c) take redundancy but risk paying tax on it if I take a contract with my former...

    Contracting for my (soon-to-be ex-) permanent employer

    I think you've convinced me the contact will be caught by IR35. Not ideal but I'll just have to acccept it. Presumably that doesn't have any on-going implications, e.g. that I'm more likely to be deemed inside IR35 on other contracts in future? As for being stiched up, I don't see it that way...

    Contracting for my (soon-to-be ex-) permanent employer

    Hi, I'm being made redundant from my current permanent role. My employer made me an offer that I could (and did) refuse in that they made my management role redundant, but offered me the chance to apply for a more junior role as a project manager – on less money naturally. They were prepared to...
